Damn, if this were for HoI III I might consider reinstalling... Shame about the series, really, as it falls into that gap between incredible clunky spreadsheet simulators like Aurora, and more beer-and-pretzel style games like Civilization # or GalCiv II, without really managing to get the appeal of either. At least for me.

Basically a WWII management-sim game with a heavy emphasis on logistics and economic choices, with a map and a bunch of giant index cards military units thrown in. At least, such as I understand it, because I never got very interested in it.

Technically, magical ponies are not very realistic. Nor would magical ponies 'realistically' be portrayed. Economy and issues being vastly different. "We are out of sugar on the front lines! Celestia help us all, my little ponies are going to riot if they find that we don't have any more sugar!"
